Bill > HB0009

This bill amends Wyoming state law to prohibit cities, towns, and counties from requiring licenses, permits, or other authorizations for two specific types of businesses: those operated only occasionally (defined as not being a habitual or regular activity) and those run by individuals under 18 years old. The legislation aims to reduce bureaucratic barriers for young entrepreneurs and those running small, infrequent business ventures. Specifically, the bill modifies existing statutes for municipal and county governing bodies, preventing them from mandating licensing for these types of businesses. The new provisions apply broadly to any business within city, town, or county limits, ensuring uniformity in how local governments treat young and occasional business operators. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving local governments time to adjust their regulations to comply with the new requirements.
